O2 Confirms New iPhone Is Coming Soon

It it seems to be almost official, and rumors have been preading so much on the web, some executives have problems to keept it secret anymore further, even the little they know about the subject.
While yesterday Intel Executive's story was official denied, a representative from O2 confirmed today that they will launch the new iPhone model together with Apple in the coming weeks.
For O2 the iPhone has been a good deal, as the carrier has successfully added 206,000 new contract customers in the first three months of 2008, an excellent result strongly driven by the iPhone sales.
So are those iPhones available from Orange already the iPhone version 2?
